Bullying. It’s such a strong word, such a frightening word, and perhaps sometimes such a loaded word. In an effort to make our schools safer and kinder places for our kids, we’ve empowered our children to recognise the traits of a bully. At my children’s school, they make films about bullying. They talk about it openly with teachers and friends, and there are whole guidelines about student wellbeing. But ask any kid in the school if they’ve experienced bullying and the chances are they will say yes. They know what it means, they know how it feels, and they mostly know what to do if it’s happening to them.
Bullying is a very real experience for many children. But has it also become a term that is too easily bandied about? My son told me on the weekend that a boy bullied him last week at school. When I asked him for more detail, what transpired was that a boy younger than him had roared in his face. Once. At lunchtime. And then my son had roared back. I suggested that maybe the boy doing the roaring was just playing, or looking to engage and not knowing how. But my son shook his head, he was adamant that he’d been the victim of bullying. I then explained how bullying generally implies that you are victimised, or frightened in some way, and then asked my son if he was frightened of this boy. He thought about it for a second and shrugged – not at all. Of course, I wasn’t there when my son was roared at, so I have no idea if it was a genuine act of bullying, but perhaps we need to equip our children with more language about what happens in the playground, so they can make the distinction between calling something bullying and recognising it as just unwanted or inappropriate behaviour.
